a pig on a farm loses 14 pounds when it sick. then it gains 8 pounds. the total weight can be represented by the number?

If the pig loses 14 pounds, then gains eight pounds, then the answer would basically be how much the pig weighed before it got sick, minus 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is basically subtraction. Since the weight of the pig before it got sick is not stated, I'm going to use the letter n as the number the pig weighed before it got sick. If it loses 14 pounds then gained eight pounds, that would be n - 14 + 8. which basically means n - 6.

Hope this helps.

P.S. I hope the pig gets better

3 is greater then both of those numbers
